Decreased libido is a common side effect. Talk to your doctor; they can discuss management options, potentially including a change in dosage or alternative treatment. Regular exercise and a healthy diet may also help.

Gynecomastia (breast enlargement) is possible. This usually resolves upon cessation of Finasteride. Your doctor can offer advice and monitor your progress.

Many experience mild scalp itching or changes in hair texture. This is usually temporary and requires no specific treatment. Gentle shampoos and conditioners can help.

Erectile dysfunction is another potential side effect. Open communication with your doctor is crucial. They can help adjust your treatment plan or suggest alternative approaches.

Remember to report any unusual symptoms to your doctor promptly. This allows for appropriate monitoring and management of potential side effects, ensuring your safety and well-being throughout treatment.
